Drogba proud of personal comeback

After scoring a delightful goal in Galatasaray's brave Champions League quarter-final exit to Real Madrid on Tuesday, Didier Drogba feels he has silenced those doubters who thought his career was over.

When Chelsea's match-winner from last season's Champions League final headed to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua last summer, many thought the career of the Ivorian, 35, was in its final throes.

His speedy return to Europe to join Galatasaray in January was greeted with scepticism, but having helped the Turkish club past Schalke in the last 16 and pushed Madrid in a 5-3 aggregate defeat, Drogba believes he has shown he is far from finished.
